2012 Questionnaire

Instead of writing a long post on 2012 and all it involved, I thought it would be fun to play along with my 4th sister, Kelly at kellyskornerblog.blogspot.com.
1. What are you most thankful for?
My family and friends. This answer may sound rather textbook, but seriously, these are what make me get out of bed each day, push me onward when times are hard and the first I call when something amazing happens.

2. What were the highlights of 2012 for you?
Moving to Germany, finding out we were finally expecting again, a wee bit of traveling and spending some good quality time with my family this summer.

3. What are you hoping for in 2013?
Peace. Great adventures. New friends. Pregnancy/Adoption (wherever we are lead). Lots and lots of family time.

4. What were some of your favorites of 2012? (Clothes, movies, songs, TV shows, )
Gosh, I feel like I live in a bubble. I rarely saw any movies in 2012. I love Modern Family & The Amazing Race, Hart of Dixie, Private Practice, Grey's Anatomy.

5. Who was God to you in 2012?
Hmmm. God is always with me. I know that, but in 2012, he began awakening me to embrace change in my life. That is part of my plan for 2013. The plan to better myself and to become even more selfless in order to help others. 

Happy 2013 dear friends! 2012 was a year of happiness for us as well as immense sadness. That being said, I look forward to 2013 and what unfolds for our family.

Because Kara is going to make this blog into a book for our children someday, I have decided I to start posting comments as often as I can to her posts. When our children read this, I want them to know what Daddy was thinking... They will also get an opportunity to see how truly funny and cool their Daddy was/is. For 2013, I am not going to make resolutions. Instead, I am going to write down some goals I have for life in general. This plan comes from a book Kara got me for Christmas called "Entreleadership." Goals with specific timelines and objectives... 1.) lose 30 pounds by March 30, 2013. 2.) Visit at least 12 of the locations on our "places to see list" by the end of 2013. I'll have to think about the others. We have been moving for the last month and my brain is currently fried.

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really

2 weeks...

As I write this, my house is being cleaned and not by me. This is my favorite day of the week. There is nothing like going home to a clean house and smelling the bleach to know it is germ free as well. This is my second good day in a row! I took the day off yesterday. Claire didn't have school due to Fasching (German equivalent of Halloween--minus the door to door trick or treating), so I gave Mya the option of hanging out with us as well. She took some convincing, but later said she had a great day. I must admit that I was focused on giving my back a much needed break, so my morning consisted of napping and laying on the couch. Not my best parenting in action, but it did wonders for the rest of the day. We met Chris for lunch, then returned home to enjoy the sunshine before the girls' swimming lessons. It was in the 50's yesterday, absolutely gorgeous! It really is hard to believe that we made it through the entire winter with no snow. I think it snowed possibly 2 days, b

4 months

We are potentially down to our last four months in Korea. I say "potentially" because it rests solely on where we are going. If we are heading back to the States, we will most likely be leaving early June so that we can enjoy a full summer with family and have time to get settled before Claire begins school. We caught wind today of what could be our next assignment. Although it is far from official word, all of a sudden my tummy is filled with butterflies. I had the privilege of teaching a little first grade girl who was one of a set of quadruplets. They (she and her sisters) are the most delightful little girls. They are well behaved and truly beautiful inside and out. Anyway, their family was due to PCS (military move) in December. I teased her that I was going to follow her and live down the road. While they were house hunting, I continually asked if there was a neighboring house for me. She'd laugh and giggle, not really sure if I was serious or not. Her Mom thought
